Shelly Ferguson is one of Durham Region and Toronto's leading newborn and maternity photographers. Shelly's approach to her photography is unique in that she focuses mainly on simplistic, minimalist style of art, keeping all the focus on the beauty of the subject, not letting the images get over powered with props and accessories. She will create lovely, classic and timeless art for her clients using simple, neutral white or dark backgrounds. In lieu of props and accessories Shelly has learned to use light and shadow along with traditional artistic composition and inspiration to create beautiful images for her clients to enjoy for generations to come.

Shelly's clients come from in and around the Toronto Area, Durham Region as well as national and international clients. She specializes in fine art newborn, maternity and pet photography.

Sessions are held in her North Oshawa studio.

Newborn sessions are typically held within the first 2-3 weeks of birth. Booking while you are still pregnant (6 or 7 months) ensures a higher chance of getting on her calendar when your baby arrives.

Maternity photography sessions are best held in the third trimester between 32-36 weeks.

Although Shelly has been photographing animals for years she is currently working on adding a new pet only session option to her list of offerings.

In addition to Shelly's regular sessions (newborn, maternity and pet) she also teaches her methods to other photographers by way of 1:1 or group workshops as well as online video tutorials available for purchase in her store.
